Role RivetEffective 14 November 2026
Privacy policy
This policy covers the Role Rivet website and the Role Rivet Copy Panel browser extension.
The short version: your résumé is read and kept on your own device. Role Rivet has no accounts, no analytics, no advertising and no server that receives your résumé. We do not sell or share your information, because we never receive it.
What Role Rivet handles
When you give Role Rivet a résumé, it handles whatever that résumé contains. That usually includes your name, email address, phone number, postal address, work history, education and skills, and links such as a LinkedIn profile.
All of this is processed inside your browser. It is not sent to us or to anyone else.
Where it is kept
- Website: the sorted résumé and the last job title you typed are saved in your browser's local storage for this site, so they are still there on your next visit. "Forget this résumé" erases the résumé. Clearing your browser's site data erases everything.
- Extension: the sorted résumé is saved in the extension's own storage on your computer. "Forget this résumé" in Options erases it, and so does removing the extension.
Because the data stays on your device, anyone who uses your browser profile on that device can see it. Use "Forget this résumé" on a shared computer.
What leaves your device
Your résumé never does. A few requests are made that do not contain it:
| Who | When | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| Our web host | When you load the website | Your IP address and browser details, as with any website |
| Google Fonts | When you load the website | Your IP address and browser details, to deliver the typefaces |
| cdnjs (Cloudflare) | When you load the app page | Your IP address and browser details, to deliver the PDF reader |
| Zippopotam.us | When you search by ZIP code in Find jobs | The ZIP code you typed |
| Venmo or PayPal | Only when you click a tip button | Nothing from Role Rivet. You are taken to their site, where any payment is between you and them under their privacy policy. |
| Indeed, LinkedIn, Google, ZipRecruiter, SimplyHired, USAJOBS | Only when you click one of their search buttons | The job title and location in that search. You are then on their site, under their privacy policy. |
The extension makes none of these requests. Its typeface and PDF reader are packaged inside it, and it does not contact any server.
The extension's permissions
- Side panel: to show your résumé fields beside the page you are on.
- Storage: to keep the sorted résumé on your computer.
- Clipboard write: to copy a field when you click it.
The extension does not read, change or record the pages you visit, and it does not run code from outside its own package.
What we do not do
- We do not collect, sell, rent or share your personal information.
- We do not use your information for advertising, profiling or credit decisions.
- We do not use AI services, so your résumé is not sent to any AI provider.
- We do not set advertising or tracking cookies.
- We do not receive your card or bank details. Optional tips are paid on Venmo's or PayPal's own sites.
